Source here. Despite June 2010 being one of the warmest U.S. Junes since 1895, the twelve-month period ending June 30 was tied (with 2001) as the coldest since 1998. Of course, the U.S. cooling trend will eventually revert to a warming trend, but the current
decade-long plus global cooling trend has not yet abated, which has been a
major surprise for all global warming alarmists. This trend has
persisted since the super 1997-98 El
Niño event.

With the
continental U.S. having the most extensive thermometer network in the
world, this suggests that possibly other areas of the world would be
reporting a cooling trend if they also had the extent and quality of actual temperature measuring
coverage
that exists in the U.S.

The AGW
hypothesis calls for global warming, which is obviously not happening in
the U.S. - the case for AGW is significantly weakened by this type of
empirical evidence. Just as a reminder, the climate models predicted
"global" warming, not partial-global warming, as seems to be the present
situation. Note: A temperature trend, as shown in
the chart, is not a
prediction.
